The walk starts at the lane to the left of the Dog & Partridge. This forestry track is followed through the forest all the way to the bridge over Dale Beck at Fairhill. After passing the saw mill and Gisburn Forest Sign red waymarkers are seen for cyclists; these point the way to Fairhill. (50 min)
Go over the bridge and follow the track uphill for 150 yd. A cycle waymarker points to the right downhill and over the beck at Dob Dale. The path now follows the beck side but becomes ill defined in places and goes through marshy ground. Eventually when the terrain opens out a stile is reached. After the stile keep to the right and follow the stone wall and fence uphill along the edge of the trees. At the end of the fence turn right over the stile into the wood at Brown Hills keeping to the left. The next stiles leads out of the wood and follows the stone wall and very straight wire fence. (45 min)
After 200 yd the stone wall turns sharp left for about 10 yd. At this point turn left and walk uphill to the right hand end of the wall ahead and head for the stone stile which forms the narow gap in the next stone wall. After crossing the stile walk to the right of the two mature trees; a stile leads to the gate in the wall before Owlshaw. A grassy track leads down to the house. Turn right at the house and look for the stone stile in the wall just after the end of the front garden. Follow the wall on the right and after the next stone stile carry straight on down and then up the steep bank to meet the farm track to Whelpstone Lodge. Turn right at the house and follow the track. At H. Brayshaw go throught the farm yard and take the small gate into the field. Follow the wall on the right to the corner; a squeezer stile leads on to M. Brayshaw. Keep the wall on the left. At the house turn left into the yard and take the small gate on the right to descend down to the footbridge over the beck and then up to L. Brayshaw. Go straight through the yard and carry on to Brayshaw House. After the house keep on a straight line on the grass to meet the track which leads on to the main road. (60 min)
Turn right at the road and then left after 100 yd and follow the bridleway to Studford Gill. At the farm yard carry straight on through the gate and head for the gate at the far left hand corner of the field. The path now leads to the footbridge at Snape House. The path goes around the front of the house and leads on to the track which leads on to the road. Turn right at the road for Tosside. (40 min)
